The Cannes Film Festival has announced its 2014 lineup, showcasing some 49 features from more than 28 countries, with a combination of high-profile awards hopefuls, Hollywood commercial plays and anticipated directorial debuts.
Here's a look at the trailers of some of the buzzed-about selections that will debut after the festival kicks off May 14.
"The Homesman": Tommy Lee Jones' second feature film as a director comes nine years after his well-received debut, "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,...

Canadian director David Cronenberg's most distinctive visual quirk is his tendency to shoot everything with the same lens. Most filmmakers come to the set with four or five lenses; they'll use a telephoto lens for a close-up, a 50mm lens for a medium shot, and so on and so forth. Cronenberg uses just one — a wide-angle lens that creates a broad view and slightly warps space, creating ominous interiors and distorted close-ups in which the actors' foreheads seem improbably large.

Robert Pattinson may still be better at selling tabloids than movie tickets.
The "Twilight" star's latest film, "Cosmopolis," opened in limited release this weekend and took in $72,327, according to an estimate from distributor Entertainment One Films. Playing in three theaters, that amounted to a per-location average of $24,109 -- a decent figure, but one far behind some of the year's more successful releases. By comparison, Wes Anderson's breakout success "Moonrise Kingdom" took in an average of $130,...

The prospect of interviewing Don DeLillo produces a certain anxiety. DeLillo, one of the most heralded American novelists of the past 40 years, has a reputation for being inaccessible, emotionally and otherwise. While by no means a recluse like J.D. Salinger, DeLillo, 75, gives interviews rarely, and on those occasions divulges little about his personal life. And like his famously intense, highly polished, vaguely chilly books — reviewers often describe his characters as cold — there's...

Mark Wahlberg has sold his home in the 90210 ZIP Code for $12.995 million — $1 million less than the actor-producer was asking when he listed it two years ago.
The contemporary Mediterranean estate, built in 1985, has been updated throughout its 11,500 square feet of living space. In addition to the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom main house, the property features a guesthouse and a detached gym with a boxing ring where the actor trained for his starring role in "The Fighter" (2010).
